Ambition Mission

While at the ITA Alliance (www.ITAlliance.com) the keynote this moring was a wonderful speaker named Ken Futch.  I picked up his book, DVD, and Audio series - all for $50 and I look forward to absorbing.  His book is entitiled “Take Your Best Shot - turning situations into opportunities.”

The book’s title is a play on an embarrassing story that happened to Ken - he accidentally shot himself in (actually though) his head and lived!

My favorite tidbits from his keynote are:

1) “When you dn’t know what you’re doing, the work is much harder.”

2) If information is measured in inches, andall information garnered by the Human Race from the beginning of time until 1860 is 1″, then between 1860 and 1960, it was 4″, by 1980, it was as tall as the Washington monument, and today it’s doubling every 30 days.

3) Motivation - Money is only temporary

4) If you want happiness for 1 hour, take a nap.  1 day, go fishing.  1 week, take a vacation.  1 month, get married, 1 year, inherit a lot of money, for a lifetime, do what you love to do!  Doing what you love doing is factor of a) doing something interesting, b) a feeling of accomplishment, and ) feeling of appreciation

5) Sometimes someone else believing in us is what it takes to become successful

An excellent presentation and I look forward to the book! 

Let Ambition Be Your Mission!
